Chapter 68 Qi Yun: Dream Maker!
Looking at the enthusiastic Wang Shang and his classmates, Qi Yun almost cried without tears.
Although the milk tea shop was making money, it was still far less than milking the system for rewards.
Selling two hundred cups a day was already quite a lot.
After all, most of the shops business came from students of Yizhong High School, which amounted to less than two thousand people.
Qi Yun calculated that even if every student from Yizhong came to drink milk tea, it would only amount to less than thirty thousand yuan a day.
After deducting the cost of ingredients, the gross profit would be around ten thousand yuan.
And after subtracting labor, utilities, and taxes, having seven to eight thousand yuan left would be considered good.
With Qi Yun holding a fifty percent stake, he would earn a little over three thousand yuan a day, amounting to around one hundred thousand yuan a month.
Thinking about how he could have earned two hundred thousand yuan from the system, this shop could only make him half that amount.
Moreover, could all the students from Yizhong afford to buy milk tea?
Qi Yun knew it was impossible.
After all, the milk tea at Snow Tea was relatively expensive, and not all Yizhong students came from well-off families.
Besides, not everyone would like the same kind of beverage!
Having all the students buy from his shop would be a dream!
Qi Yun estimated that the shop could sell a maximum of three hundred cups a day, including the surrounding residents.
Qi Yun looked at Lian Qingxue.
She was like a little butterfly, fluttering around the shop.
He could tell she was delighted. He understood that he couldnt force the shop to operate at a loss if he wanted to make money.
That would dampen Lian Qingxues enthusiasm.
Apart from the shops opening, Qi Yun hadnt managed the milk tea shop.
He acted more like an absentee boss. But Lian Qingxue was very diligent. She took care of everything inside and out, managing and planning.
Qi Yun couldnt let his desire for quick gains ruin Lian Qingxues hard work.
However
That didnt mean Qi Yun couldnt find opportunities for further investment!
After closing the shop that day, everyone discussed their earnings and realized that business was slightly better than the previous day. They made an additional three hundred yuan.
Qi Yun and Lian Qingxue returned to the orphanage together. Along the way, Lian Qingxue was humming a tune.
So happy?
Yeah! Business in the shop is good! Lian Qingxue nodded, her eyes sparkling.
Yes, all thanks to the good management of the boss lady, Qi Yun teased.
Whos the boss lady? Im the boss now!
Lian Qingxue huffed, tilted her head arrogantly. She acted as if she were something special.
In that case, Boss Lian, are you satisfied with our current performance? Qi Yun said in a seductive tone.
What do you mean? Lian Qingxue was confused.
Although she would eventually take over a large corporation in her past life, she was just an eighteen-year-old student for now. The current success of the milk tea shop did make her satisfied.
Do you remember what I told you? We want to change the current state of the milk tea industry!
Lian Qingxue nodded. Qi Yun had persuaded her to open a high-cost milk tea shop.
Since we want to change the industry, one shop is not enough! This shop in Yizhong High School is just our starting point! Qingxue, we cant stop here. We cant settle for small wealth. On the contrary, we must seize the opportunity and start expanding! Qi Yun clarified his thoughts.
Since he couldnt invest through losses, he could persuade Qingxue to expand instead!
Expanding the business would require more money than losing it! As long as he could convince Qingxue, he didnt believe he couldnt profit from the system.
Expand? Qingxue hadnt considered this.
Yes! Expand! We not only need to open shops in Spring City but also in the provincial capital. We should even go to Beijing and expand nationwide! We want the name Snow Tea to become synonymous with the new type of milk tea!
As Qi Yun described the situation, a glimmer of longing appeared in Qingxues eyes.
Compared to Qi Yun, she had invested more effort in Snow Tea. Looking at Qi Yun, Qingxue couldnt help but feel a sense of admiration.
Qingxue, youre already pleased with earning money from one shop, but look at Qi Yun. He can see so far ahead!
Qingxue clenched her small fist. She had to work harder to keep up with Qi Yuns pace!
Weve just established our footing with this shop. Isnt it a bit too hasty?
She wasnt a novice without business experience anymore. She understood how challenging it was to open a shop.
Qi Yun wanted to open more branches, which tempted her, but she still hesitated.
Hesitate?
Of course, Qi Yun didnt want Qingxue to hesitate.
While others might fear blind expansion, he wasnt afraid!
With Qingxue and the systems money, he had a continuous source of funds. He wasnt afraid of a financial crisis.
However, Qi Yun also realized that Qingxue was the biggest obstacle to him earning rebates from the system.
Compared to Qi Yun, who had the systems support, Qingxue was cautious.
Qi Yun wouldnt receive rebates if he couldnt persuade her and make her willing to accept the investment,.
Qi Yun explained to Qingxue, We need to seize the opportunity. Think about it: wont there be imitators as our business gets better?
After all, theres no technical barrier to this. Qi Yuns words made sense.
Think about the future milk tea competition. Milk tea shops would be everywhere, with various types of fresh milk tea and fruit tea.
Ultimately, its about the hot market and people following the trend.
Lian Qingxue became even more convinced of Qi Yun.
He was saying things she hadnt considered. But she didnt agree right away.
I want to think about it some more, and besides, our current conditions really cant support expansion.
Qi Yun wasnt in a hurry.
As long as Lian Qingxue had the idea, it was good enough. Ultimately, what Qi Yun said made sense.
If they wanted to strengthen Snow Tea, expansion was an essential path.
Lian Qingxues reasoning was also valid. Right now, expansion is not feasible.
Not to mention anything else, where would they find so many qualified employees?
For Qi Yun and Lian Qingxue, the college entrance examination was the top priority.
Two days later, the last major exam before the college entrance examination, the second mock exam in Spring City, finally arrived.
Mr. Xu stood outside the classroom corridor, holding onto the railing, looking solemnly at Class Two.
It had been a month. Ive been waiting for this day for a whole month! I waited for this month not to prove my greatness but to tell everyone that this years outstanding class teacher would definitely be me!
Mr. Chen watched closely!
